It strikes me that it is the other way 'round
ASP and JSP are established -- and it is PHP which 
is doing the replacing...

Not replacing existing stuff, of course -- 
but creating an alternative for new projects. 

IBM legitimized personal computers in an era 
when you could find personal computers right  
next to the toy section in Radio Shack. 

I think IBM's support for PHP will make some people 
look at PHP in a different light.
